I was also thinking of venting out to dryer vent instead of my room . It’s a big room 1000 square feet pretty dry as well in basement. Will I have any issues venting into my room with this set up. Should I open windows once in a while to let fresh air in . It gets pretty cold here soon lol

Don't want come across funny but don't stress let them do their thing. They will soon shoot up and you will be amazed how little you really need do. Veging is the easy bit and unless you start adding loads of nutes and overwatering they should do fine. Good luck

This and 1000x this. This is not some fancy holy grail of a plant. It will do what it needs to do to grow, keep it watered correctly and if you notice some changes, adjust your game accordingly, but honestly it will grow on its own with very little effort on your behalf.

Ideally you want around 50% RH in veg mainly depending on temps. Its good to look up a VPD chart and try to aim for the green zone.

hi everyone my first grow ever I bought a upgraded Mylar tent 4x4 x7 ft sweet tent very happy with it . I got a 4” exhaust fan with carbon filter temp and humidity unit . I started 2 white widow 2 lambs breath or bread and one trans Siberian all auto flower feminized . All 5 seeds germinated and all are out now . I have one 600w philzon led wich I think is really 400w so they say and a bestva 1000w duel chip 10 w bulbs very bright. . I’ve both lights on 18 off 6 . Now I wasn’t sure on light height or placement so over 2 I got the 600 and other two the 1000 but looks like they are all getting from both as light are close together. 600w is 18” above top of plant on veg setting and 1000 w is 30 “ above there is no veg setting on this light. I noticed some stretching under 1000 w so I lowered to about 20” seems ok so far . I’ve not added nutrients and prob won’t till week 3 . Soil is roots hydrponic soil looks really good for grow . The trans Siberian is two days behind as seeds came late or after I started plus it’s in a smaller pot . I hope I’m doing this right just going off what I’ve read . Not sure how to post pics on here . It’s day 6 now and so far they look really nice getting third set of leaves now .
Sounds like you spent a lot..my grow table is much simpler..

Ok nice thanks . Is a humidifier really needed or is there other ways to increase humidity in the tent. Like misting maybe. I’ll check out that VPD chart . Thanks man!

Any advice on led light height would be nice
LED s give off very little heat but I have leaf burned plants by putting them too close..start at 14 inches away minimum..the light will need to be adjusted further away if you notice any bright yellow on the leaves..be careful with LED's..for seedlings I like to use a low powered cal at about 4 to 6 inches..and watch for leaf drooping..spray the leaves in the morning and once or twice through the day..don't over water..again watch for leaf droop

Misting is good you can get a small pump style sprayer, does well and like its said above spray a few times a day, I bought a humidifier just because of how dry it is here, as a bonus it makes my grow/computer room very cozy.
